Detailed
Description:
This course provides students with an introductory knowledge and hands­on experience with the JAVA programming
language and features. Students will develop skills in object­oriented programming using the JAVA Programming
Language. This course continues the study of computer science for anyone interested in programming or pursuing a
career in a field that uses computers. Problem­solving and algorithm development skills will be used as students design,
write code, debug and document programs using proven programming techniques. Programming in JAVA serves as the
prerequisite for Advanced Placement Computer Science.
